(3) Unusual Skin Lesions of Swine Fever in, Sows. In submitting these specimens, the President said that during the course of a recent outbreak of this disease in which there was an entire absence of general skin lesions in the case of a young sow, he observed a number of diffuse sores on the skin of the mammre, mainly around the base of the teats, and in some involving them. On first examining the sow he thought the sores might be due to friction from the mouths of the pigs, but closer examination showed that the lesions were of a specific character. He ordered immediate slaughter of the animal and on post-mortem examination the characteristic intestinal lesions were discovered. About 10 days subsequently another sow in the same piggery presented similar conditions. (4) Entozoa forwarded by Mr Edward Stanley, Government Veterinary Surgeon, New South Wales. These comprised several specimens of spiroptera lllegastoma, strongylus tetracanthus, strongylus anllatus, and ta:ma lllamillana from the horse, and strongylus hypostolllus from the sheep. Dr WOODHEAD said, with reference to deposition of fat around the heart in the case of traumatic pericarditis, that it had forcibly reminded him of a similar condition commonly met with in cases of granular contracted kidney of the human subject. In the latter case it was evident that the deposit of fat was secondary to the atrophy of the kidney, and the same was seen in the case of other organs. It had therefore occurred to him that the thinning and atrophy of the heart muscle in the case of the cow's heart was probably the result of the traumatic pericarditis, and not of the fatty deposit, which would be likely to ensue as a sequel to the cadiac atrophy. Professor M'FADYEAN said that he had been most interested in the remarkable form of skin lesion from swine-fever cases exhibited by the President. He thought they were quite unique, inasmuch as they were almost identical in their naked eye appearances with the common ringed ulcers of the bowel. It seemed as if the specific organism of swine-fever had in these cases taken up its position in the skin, and had there set up a necrotic process similar to that excited by it in the mucous membrane of the bowel. Dr WOODHEAD exhibited and explained a series of large mounted sections, illustrating tuberculosis and other diseases of the human lung, in order that the members might have an opportunity of comparing such conditions with those met with among the lower animals. He also showed under the microscope specimens of the bacillus tuberculosis from human sources, for comparison with examples of that organism which Professor M'Fadyean exhibited from the domestic animals. Professor M'FADYEAN submitted the lungs of a cat (page 156) showing tuberculosis, and specimens showing the lesion excited in the lungs of sheep . by the strongylus rufiscens (page 139).
